Abstract excerpt
Energy depositions by sparsely and densely ionizing radiation in the cellular DNA are responsible for deleterious radiobiological effects like the induction of chromosome aberrations or gene mutations. However, due to differences in the spatial pattern of energy deposition the action of densely ionizing radiation is quantitatively and qualitatively different from that of sparsely ionizing radiation. By the use of...
